Mick Lynch to retire as RMT boss after 30 years with union
The Guardian
|January 10, 2025
Mick Lynch has said he will retire as general secretary of the RMT union, after four years during which he became perhaps the most recognisable presence on picket lines amid the biggest rail and tube worker strikes for decades.
The National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT) said it will appoint a new general secretary in the first week of May. Lynch, who is 63, will remain as general secretary until then.
Lynch has led RMT since 2021, after 30 years involved in the union. He became a national figure in 2022 as he led RMT into the biggest industrial action on the rail network for more than 30 years, causing severe disruption across Great Britain.
Videos of Lynch went viral as he responded calmly but combatively to journalists criticising the strikes. Even the rightwing Spectator magazine praised his ability to use "simple, plain-talking language" to make "mincemeat out of politicians and broadcast interviewers alike".
